As we start moving into Garlean territory, I’d like to remind everyone to not be shitty to Garlic RPers. Remember that we’re all here to have a good time, and literally no race or nation in this game is perfect. There’s good and bad guys everywhere, so don’t take your frustrations on the empire out on your fellow RPers.

People who are asshats to Garlean RPers are not welcome here.

29. What is one of the most courageous things your character has ever done for a loved one?

Tess left her home and safety to try to find a cousin she’d never really met and now lives in constant anxious fear of being found out so she can help her and someday bring her back to her father. It’s not a whole lot but it’s the only brave thing she’s done so far in her life.

(A little blurb to pair with this. @resistance-ranger )

Tess paced in her room. She’d slept maybe an hour thus far but she’d grown restless. Her bare feet were silent against her plush rug spread out across the hard wood floor, her long white-blonde hair braided over her shoulder. She had a lot on her mind, she didn’t know what to do. She only had a few short weeks before certain plans moved forward and things became a little more complicated.

Silently she crossed to her door, pausing when she heard the softest sound. Brows furrowed, she carefully opened her door just enough to peek out. Her features softened as her heart twisted, seeing the distraught figure of her cousin. However, Tess was not an emotional woman, she was unsure how to comfort someone nor if she even should. So just as quietly as she’d opened it, she closed her door and went back to her bed. She sighed, laying down and rolling to her back, staring up at the ceiling. What she would give for more clear answers as to what she was suppose to do.

In time it would come together. She hoped.

The Basics –––

Age: 25

Birthday: 20th Sun of the 6th Umbral Moon

Race: Midlander Hyur

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Pansexual

Marital Status: Single

Server: Balmung

Physical Appearance –––

Hair: August has shaggy black hair that hangs just past the nape of his neck in the back and grazes his chin in the front.

Eyes: Light Green

Height: 5′5″. On the shorter side for a male Midlander. 

Build: August is slim with moderate muscle definition.

Distinguishing Marks: He has some minor scarring on his calloused hands, but those marks hardly stand out, especially when he is usually wearing work gloves of some kind. 

Common Accessories: August is never seen without his glasses or some kind of vision correcting (or magnifying) device. He is also usually seen wearing gloves, whether for the purpose or working or to spare people the touch of his heavily calloused hands. Whether he is wearing work clothes or not, he is never without tools. Just check his pockets. 

Personal –––

Profession: Engineer, Inventor, and Machinist. Though, his forays into adventuring have been for the purpose of acquiring unique components for his work. 

Hobbies: Tinkering - Can work be a hobby, too? While not working on items commissioned from him, August spends much of his time tinkering with personal projects. Gambling - August has a thing for games of chance, usually to his detriment. He doesn’t currently owe any significant debts, but in the past that has not always been the case. Other hobbies include Reading, Exploration, and Shooting.

Languages: Eorzean Common and Ishgardian. 

Residence: He travels quite a lot and has not put down permanent roots since he left Ishgard. He spends his time in inns as he moves about. Though, they often don’t enjoy the sounds of his work. Perhaps it is time for a more permanent solution?

Birthplace: Ishgard

Religion: None

Fears: Being forgotten in death, failure, losing his grip on reality, and being caged or chained, starving.

Nicknames: He is often simply referred to as Mercer. 

Relationships –––

Spouse: None

Children: None

Additional information ––– –

Personality: Upon first meeting August may seem nothing more than a prideful, arrogant, curmudgeonly ass. It may take time to break past the armor he has put up throughout his life and see the fiercely loyal friend and defender he can be. 

Recreational Substances: He drinks recreationally, and certainly when he gambles (though, he may often present as if he is more intoxicated than he truly is). He does not, however, use any other mind altering substance, as he is quite afraid of loss of his mental faculties. 

Favorite Foods: Stews, soups, piping hot teas, and pastries. 

Likes: Libraries, laboratories, forges, target practice, cards, dice, casinos, roaring fires, like-minded people

Dislikes: Religion (He won’t refuse to associate with religious people unless they are zealots, but seriously dislikes the idea of Religion), nobility, being cold, people touching his things

Virtues: Hardworking, loyal, charitable

Vices: Arrogant, prideful, impatient

RP Hooks –––

Ishgardian - August was born and rasied (well, in some sense of the word) in Ishgard. If your character was as well, perhaps they have interacted in the past? 

Looking for Tech? - August sells his services as an inventor and engineer. He is skilled in creating all kinds of interesting things, but seems to specialize in firearms. Perhaps your character has purchased something from him or would like to? 

Gambling Man - August just can’t help himself when it comes to games of chance. He’s not an uncommon sight in places like The Gold Saucer. Perhaps your character has chatted with him while betting on chocobos? Maybe he owed you money once upon a time? Maybe you owe him? 

Anything! - I am pretty sure we can come up with all kinds of reasons for our characters to interact. Just shoot me a message and we’ll talk through it! I am open to just about anything. 

About Me –––

I am fairly new to MMO RP, only been at it a little while. I am not new to RP in general, though. But, there a bit of a diference between the LARPing/Tabletop RP that I am used to and MMOs. So, there’s a bit of a learning curve. 

I am a big bundle of anxiety. It is much easier for me to interact with people online, but I still find myself dealing with nerves from time to time. This makes large RP events difficult as I usually won’t go without a buddy.

I prefer to RP in-game, but will also RP on Discord as well as back and forth Tumblr posts in the form of letters or something. 

I am open to roleplaying romance, but often prefer a fade to black approach to sexual encounters. I am not a fan of casual ERP. 

I am not looking for an FC currently, but would certainly be interested in both IC and OOC Linkshells as well as RP oriented Discord servers.  

I like getting to know my RP partners OOC. This isn’t a requirement or anything, I just enjoy Discord chit chat. 

I really do try my best to be approachable to everyone and I’d love to talk to you, even if we can’t come up with interactions or plots for our characters.

Availability/Contact Information –––

Timezone: CST.  I am usually available for RP most nights of the week after 7 PM. Though, I do most of my RP from 10 PM until 3 AM. I am available earlier on weekends. I have a lot of free time and can make most things work provided I have time to plan for it. 

Discord:  Weezled#3133

In game you can contact me on August Mercer or Liyaya Liya (Both on Balmung)

You can also shoot me a Tumblr message.
